This could be any number of rocks or minerals. Since you mention that it is glittery, it might be a schist (metamorphic rock). It could also be a green mica known as fushite. Here is a link to an ebay auction, see if it looks familiar. http://cgi.ebay.com/87-94GR-NICE-BIG-SPARKLING-FUSHITE-MADAGASCAR_W0QQitemZ120103648488QQcategoryZ3214QQcmdZViewItem
